Let's divide 11589978 by 85
We want to divide 11589978 by 85.

Advancing to step 1:
1 divided by 85 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 1, we end up with 1.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 1 and continue: 11 / 85

Advancing to step 2:
85 goes into 11 0 times with a remainder of 11.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 11 and we're left with 11.
Include the next digit (5) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 115 / 85

Going ahead to step 3:
85 can be fit into 115 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 30.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we subtract 85 from 115, we get 30.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 30, then repeat: 308 / 85

Let's proceed to step 4:
85 can be fit into 308 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 53.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 13.0
Deduct 255 from 308 and we're left with 53.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 53, then repeat: 539 / 85

Step 5:
When dividing 539 by 85, we get 6 with a remainder of 29.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 136.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 510 from 539.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 29 and continue: 299 / 85

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 299 by 85, we get 3 with a remainder of 44.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 1363.0
If we take 255 away from 299, we end up with 44.
Bring next digit (7) of the dividend behind the 44 and repeat the process: 447 / 85

On to step 7:
85 can be fit into 447 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 22.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 13635.0
If we take 425 away from 447, we end up with 22.
Include the next digit (8) from the dividend after 22, then repeat: 228 / 85

On to step 8:
If we divide 228 by 85, we get 2 and a remainder of 58.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 136352.0
The remainder is 58 after subtracting 170 from 228.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 580, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
85 goes into 580 6 times with a remainder of 70.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 136352.6
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 510 from 580.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Step 10:
The number 85 fits into 700 8 times, leaving a remainder of 20.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 136352.68
Deduct 680 from 700 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
When dividing 200 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 136352.682
The remainder is 30 after subtracting 170 from 200.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Step 12:
85 goes into 300 3 times with a remainder of 45.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 136352.6823
The remainder is 45 after subtracting 255 from 300.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 450, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 13:
The number 85 fits into 450 5 times, leaving a remainder of 25.
Record the quotient 5 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 136352.68235
If we subtract 425 from 450, we get 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 14:
250 divided by 85 is 2 with a remainder of 80.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 136352.682352
Subtract 170 from 250 to get 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 800, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 15:
If we divide 800 by 85, we get 9 and a remainder of 35.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 136352.6823529
Deduct 765 from 800 and we're left with 35.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
85 goes into 350 4 times with a remainder of 10.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 136352.68235294
Deduct 340 from 350 and we're left with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

The final result is 136352.68235294 with a remainder of 1e-08.
